Cooperâs Corner: postbox № TN14 209

This Victorian postbox is set into a pillar-like addition projecting from the frontage of a building which I think was once a pub: there is a 'PH' marked here on some large-scale maps and the Royal Mail's listing names this postbox as Frog & Bucket so I am assuming that is what the pub was called.
